Swim Platforms
 

From a practical standpoint, a swim platform can be of great use.

1) Great place to swim from.
2) Great place to board a dinghy
3) Great place to just sit and get the toes wet.
4) Good for mounting a radar clear of the working deck.

It's just pathetic to have a sealed reverse transom these days. The
space is almost always wasted. Boarding seas aft are hardly a factor
for the coastal cruising most of us do. A swim platform is a MUST!

Brilliant deduction!


Is a fishing boat a great place to fish from?

No, not always. Depends on the type of fishing you're doing and the
boat used. You don't use a Bass boat for deep sea. Your ignorance on
ALL topics appears to have no bounds.

Bob, just a question... would you swim in LIS?

Of course...as millions of people have and continue to do. It's one of
the cleanest bodies of water due to it's daily "flushing." Pollution
factors are in the sediment...and a serious problem. The water is
generally fine and better than the beaches where god-knows-what washes
up. I know this well as I have previously been a member of the Great
Gull Island project and monitor closely their yearly reports from the
Museum of Natural History.

I used to swim at Sunken Meadow.

Not if it's sitting on the hard.

6) Great to cull shrimp
7) Great to learn how to barefoot ski
8) Great boarding area for pirates
9) Great place to put the rugrat when he don't stop crying
10) Great waste of space
11) Great place to store 3 huge oversized pink tit looking rubber baby
bumper fenders made for lubber who smash into the docks.

It's a totally idiotic place to board a dinghy if there's any seaway at

all.


Yup, it's also a bad place to board after swimming or MOB because the
stern can slam down and kill a person. But in most conditions in the
LIS it's a great feature. And Peter, you're an idiot to even both
making such an obvious point!

Not an issue for Bob, of course. Then again I can't see the use of a
swim platform to him either.

I wonder who else couldn't figure out that the typo was "Bother." I
expect most 3rd grade graduates could figure it out, leaving Scotty
well out of the loop....again!

Why bother? Assume it's produced by a moron and semantic content == 0.

Bobby is pretty funny, the way he scrabbles to recover from self
inflicted stupidity. But it's a one trick show.

I've done boardings of foreign fishing vessels in Australia's waters
way offshore, in IRB's, from larger ships where we had to
launch/recover the IRB in sometimes quite large swell. Swim platforms
and the like are for tourists who putz about in sheltered waters.
That's why one is perfect for Bob.

Bwahahaha! What a phoney! Do tell us how this relates to a sailboat in

never can come in handy!
Flash! This report in from Peter: Masts can cause problems with low
bridges!!!! Contact him for more important details!

Hmmm....most sailors on the LIS sail there because it's a great place
to sail. They also live there. Tourists? Does Peter know anything?
